Mario Kart World version 1.7.0 adds two Knockout Tour routes

gamingJul 1, 202631613

Mario Kart World just released version 1.7.0, quietly adding two Knockout Tour routes named Drill Rally and Boomerang Rally plus new Photo Mode sticker options. Players immediately zeroed in on the expanded Knockout Tour, praising the extra variety and the soundtrack while joking about Nintendo dropping updates in the middle of the night. Several streamers announced viewer lobbies to show off the new rallies, and community conversation shifted toward hopes for more free content updates like additional routes, characters, and costumes.

Kind of crazy how little they've added to their flagship launch title that's perfectly set-up for updates to keep current, bring in new, & bring back old players if done properly.

Nintendo chooses to update this game at the most random times

youtu.be/K07EL0OSG6I The YT video for it also shows up to 6 extra slots for more rallies. More will be added in the future.

ok wait ignore my horrible posting tonight, this is a genuinely great update. very strange how they've been dishing out updates for this game still but more knock out rallies and being able to use ur stickers in photomode is actually a really good use for them

yeah we can just add a bunch of random features that should've been in the base game over the course of a few months or years

TJ "Tokiko" yoshi13

I WON I DID THIS

i feel like this game is sitting on a small mountain's worth of extra content they could add without even designing a new map. i'm glad the developers seem to agree!

honestly kinda wild that they launched knockout tour with only 8 routes, incredibly welcome change

Jabberwacko4

Will they ever fix that weird price bug? The one that makes it cost 90 bucks

It’s funny how low profile Nintendo is when they drop a Mario Kart World update. They’re always like: uh yeah, here’s a mario kart update… enjoy ig

You would think there would be more fanfare behind a game that they consider to be the flagship game of the Switch 2.

Oh, dip, they’re gradually adding new Knockout Tour rallies until the mode has doubled its options. I’m glad more substantial content is starting to hit MKW - now please give poor DK some hunky costumes.

Yes, there really was a new Mario Kart World update at 3 AM (somewhere in the world).

A pair of screenshots from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, Graveyard Shift. The screenshot above is Squidward with the caption, "Who's going to go on YouTube to find out about a new Mario Kart World update at 3 in the morning!?" The screenshot below is Patrick with the caption, "Oh boy, 3 AM!"

The thing about DLC for Mario Kart World is that you can’t patch in purpose

Mario Kart World has added two new Knockout Tour races, with Nintendo promising more to come in future updates. Players can also now take the 1,000+ stickers that can be collected in the game and use them in Photo Mode. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/mario-k...

Knockout Tour is the best part of the game. Still hope we get more tracks, outfits etc but this is a good start and shows Nintendo isn't done with it yet, even if Knockout Tour is one of the 'easier' things it can add since it's just creating new routes through existing areas.
